Why Solana Data Doesn't Agree (And Why That Matters)

Today we're joined by Waddah from the Solana Foundation to discuss Solana Data, an initiative tackling one of crypto's biggest hidden problems: why different data providers report completely different numbers.

We discuss:
  • What is Solana Data?
  • Why crypto data providers disagree
  • Institutional adoption & data quality
  • Benchmarking Dune, Artemis, Allium & others
  • DEX volume methodology differences
  • Stablecoin supply challenges
  • Wash trading & filtering assumptions
  • Open source data benchmarking
  • Building standards for crypto analytics
  • The future of onchain data auditing
  • Why transparency matters for institutions
And much more—enjoy!
